AF Sklar - "Songs of the sailors." Review Guru Ken

After Alexander F.Sklyar announced the end of the "era" as "Va-Bank", the wait could be almost anything. But with the new lineup of musicians new album doubt distributes recorded. CD. Studio "Union", 2008. The current AF Sklar - is even more powerful than in the good old songwriter all banking names. We are convinced of the first song, "I'm flying". A mighty cry of freedom with a rapidly galloping bass and heavy prihlopom buttons on the exhalation Sklar not even change - an honest look at the ironic thing is the same in the same brutal and poetic. But the musicians play a lot more than the apostles "all-in", and the new songs sound much more fresh. AF Sklar - "Songs of the sailors' Sermon" Be not sad, not pi * Di do not feel sorry, do not cry, "referring to emphasize not only the famous thieves bids, inside-out, but in the sense of a heavy barrel arranger triple each bid Pugachev inherits immortal "a hundred friends." Illustrates the idea is great continuity, inherent AF Sklyar album. It is no accident, it sounds Choi Song "Mother, we are all seriously ill" in the heavy industrial assembly, and it is no coincidence, the album ends with a duet with paste "revolutionaries in Cuba," a song that first the Sklar experience in rock music in general was. Sklar - a great artist, the always present the sources back to the public, more relevant to improve reading and refined artistic offer songs. Video for the title "Songs of sailors" has already been removed. Actually, the marine theme is dominant in the album. Sailors for Sklar - the image of the free hero, totally in control of their destiny in their own hands. They can be thrown by women, they can be involved in the smuggling and expire even betrayal, but they are strong in one of the points. By the way, in the middle of a verse raspevny heavy rumble in the "Songs of sailors" - an obvious melodic masterpiece Sklar, unfortunately, do not get developed in this version of the song. But we know about the ability to go back to better Sklar ... Of particular note, the album is the majestic ballad "Ships can not go down." Sung stern voice catastrophic metaphor "no ships sink the ships throw flags" raises goosebumps. Convincingly obvious allusion to the famous immortal "Agatha Christie", but also the completely Sklar in this male subject. And under the new version of the seven-minute "I shaman" does not want to with a new transmitter to 7 minutes taken obstacle to the airwaves. By the way, at the end of the album there is a hidden bonus track "Three zero six" (Johnny Cash song translated Andrew Oleary) with a guitar that I. La Neil Young, and a very strange song If something Sklar and prove yourself, "song of the sailors' certainly proved. An album of new members to the best traditions of Russian rock - with meaningful clever lyrics, with a charismatic flow and powerful modern Wall of Sound. Sklar most incredibly fun to listen to - as he intones what weight plays with twists. It is absolutely unclear what prevents young people write the same honest powerful songs. Inner weakness and emptiness, I suppose. But AF Sklar wrote the best album in his discography. Rating: 9 out of 10.
